UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOIIN MCMARTIN, OF JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN.

BUCKLE CAG-RUNNER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,636, dated November 17, 1863.

To all rwhom it may convient Be it known that I, J. MCMARTIN, of the city of Janesville, county of Rock, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Constructing Buckle Gag- Runners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and lexact description of the construction and operation of the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specication, like characters referring to like parts in each figure.

The nature of my invention consists in combining a buckle with a gag-runner, in the manner and for the purposes hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 isa front View ofthe swivel, showing its connection with the crown-piece of the bridle. Fig. 2 is a flank View of the same.

D, Fig. 1, represents the point at which the bridlefront is attached. E is a rosette. Gis

the blind-strap. C is the bucklebar. B is the buckle-tongue. A is the buckle gag-runner as a whole. F is the throat-latch strap, and to this strap is attached the buckle gagrunner, and by means of its` combination with the buckle it'may be raised or lowered until it is adjusted'to the satisfaction of the'operator. By the old method of construction the buckle gagrunner had, oi" necessity, to remain stationary, Whereas, by this mode, as herein described, it may be moved up or down near, or quite, six inches, thus securing the desideratum long sought after.

What I claim as new, and for which I ask Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the gagrunner and buckle B, as arranged and described JOHN MCMARTIN. Witnesses:
